"It's okay." He scolded impatiently, turning to look at Mr. Wen with a smile on his face, "Let Mr. Wen see the joke."

Damn it, I’ve lost all my face!

After thinking about it, he glared at Shen Nian fiercely.

Mr. Wen saw the dissatisfaction of several people in his eyes and smoothed things over with a smile, "Stop arguing. As this girl said, today is the admissions meeting and business is important. What do you think?"

"I listen to you, sir." Shen Nian looked obedient and gave up when he was ready.

Although those people were feeling aggrieved, they did not want to offend Mr. Wen, so they forced themselves to smile and let the matter pass for the time being.

Mr. Wen nodded with satisfaction, "I am old and frail. I will leave all the recruitment matters to my grandson. I hope everyone will bear with me."

Everyone said "please take care of yourself" again and watched Mr. Wen leave.

After leaving, Mr. Wen sat on a high platform and saw the whole garden in his eyes.

As soon as the old lady left, the Shen family looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

Shouldn’t the Master assess the students on the spot?

"What's going on?" Li Xiuniang couldn't help asking.

"I don't know." Shen Er shook his head, "We will act according to the situation. We will do what others do."

Things are not as difficult as they think.

The academy, after all, uses assessment as the standard.

Wen Chengan stood upright and waved his hands to the servants. Several people dressed as servants came over with things.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time."

After saying polite greetings, he quickly got to the point, "Today, the academy is recruiting students. The dean has given some test questions in advance. Those who want to enter the academy can answer them. My grandfather will personally mark the papers and select the best candidates."

"?!" Everyone present was stunned.

The answers were not surprising, but... Mr. Wen marked the papers himself, which made people very nervous.

Leaving a thunderclap behind, Wen Chengan added: "After half a cup of tea, the candidates will appear. Please pay attention to the time."

Instructing his servants to treat him well, he became invisible.

The people who came to be apprentices had no intention of exchanging pleasantries, and took their children and started preaching.

"Son, you must take the exam well."

"The glory of our family rests entirely on you, so you have to live up to your expectations!"

"Mr. Wen is very knowledgeable. Don't say you are Mr. Wen's direct disciple. As long as you enter the academy, your father will give you whatever you want."

"Enter the academy, take the imperial examination, and become a high official. My son, our whole family is counting on you!!"

A group of people went crazy, eager to grab their children's shoulders and shake them while talking.

The Shen family sat in the corner, stunned.

"This is too crazy." Shen Er swallowed.

Shen Nian blinked and murmured curiously, "Is this the chicken baby?"

Ancient people were also chicken babies.

The sympathetic eyes fell on Brother Man, how pitiful he was!

Brother Man tilted his head, his eyes puzzled.

Thinking that Sister was worried that he would fail the exam, he patted his chest, his face looked incredibly serious, "Sister, I will work hard."

Shen Nian was speechless.

Uh, this is... I'm going to fuck myself.

"There's no need to be so nervous. If you can't pass the exam, let's hire a teacher and build a private school in the village."

As for the private school in the village that had no sense of existence, she had long forgotten it.

As soon as Shen Nian said these words, the Shen family suddenly felt less nervous!

Brother Man frowned.

Sir, please spend more money. He should work hard to get into the academy.

Shen Nian didn't know that her words made Brother Man more motivated to fight. She raised her chin slightly, feeling very proud of herself.

She is indeed the best sister in the world.

The time came in a blink of an eye, and the children taking the assessment went to the makeshift examination room.

"Fifth brother?" Shen Er shouted uncertainly when he saw a familiar figure.

Shen Guangyao stopped and saw the person in the second room, his smile froze.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, why are you here?"

When he saw Shen Nian's harmless smile, he suddenly remembered that his reputation was ruined and shattered by that drawing. He pursed his lips and a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Shen Er didn't pay attention to his fleeting complex expression of wanting to be discovered but not wanting to be asked, and said cheerfully: "What can I do in the academy? Of course I am looking for a husband for the boy at home, hahaha."

Shen Guangyao looked at his nephew.

Brother Man smiled slightly, showing his millet teeth, and he looked smart, "Uncle Five."

"I wish Brother Man good luck." Shen Guangyao forced a smile and said insincerely.

"I also wish fifth brother good luck." Shen Er said with a smile on his face.

After a brief greeting, Shen Guangyao and Brother Man were taken to another courtyard without even having time to exchange greetings.

As soon as they left, Li Xiuniang said doubtfully: "Why is fifth brother here too? He is doing well in that academy."

"What's so good? It's been so many years since I've been a scholar." He spoke so straightforwardly, and when he heard it, it was Shen Nian.

"Pfft...cough cough." Shen Er almost choked, "You've exposed your daughter again with your words."

"Oh, let me reflect on it." Shen Nian said smoothly.

What she said was obviously the truth! !

Shen Er and Li Xiuniang were both dumbfounded when their daughter admitted her mistake with such smooth words.

The Wen family entertained me well, including tea and exquisite snacks.

However, while the child was taking the exam inside, Shen Nian was the only one in the audience who was interested in eating and drinking. Everyone else was looking forward to the temporary examination room.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiuniang said worriedly: "I don't know what questions sir will ask. What if Brother Man can't answer them?"

"If he doesn't, then he won't. No one will beat him if he turns in a blank paper." Shen Nianyun said calmly.

Shen Er: "Sister Nian is right. For children from our farm families, studying is not the only way out.

Besides, if this academy doesn't accept enough brothers, the worst it can do is listen to my daughter and go back to the village to set up a private school. "

Li Xiuniang heard what her husband-in-law and daughter said, so she simply stopped worrying about it.

After an estimated three-quarters of an hour, there was only a "ding" sound, the Wen family boy collected the examination papers, and the candidates left the temporary examination room.

Man Ge'er is small but has a nimble body. As soon as he finished, he ran to his family.

"Brother Man, what's up, have you answered?" Li Xiuniang asked anxiously.

Brother Man nodded, his eyes bright, "The answer is out."

Li Xiuniang happily rubbed her son's head, "Really? My son is so smart."

In her excitement, she forgot about the strength of her hands, and the little braid on the little guy's head was messed up and squashed.

Shen Nian wanted to laugh looking at it.

Before Brother Man looked over, she changed the subject, "Are you confident about entering the academy?"

"Yes!" Brother Man was not generally confident.

As soon as Shen Nian finished speaking, Shen Guangyao appeared with a white face.

"It's a good thing to have confidence, but it's easy to make a joke if you are pretentious." He said in a faint tone.

Shen Nian said seriously: "Uncle, are you talking about yourself? He is really self-aware."

Shen Guangyao's face was burning with pain, and his pale face was stained with blood and turned red.

"I am your fifth uncle." He said angrily.

"I know." Shen Nian said and nodded, "I'm not dizzy, and I still recognize my family. Fifth Uncle doesn't need to emphasize it."

She looked innocent, which made it difficult for Shen Guangyao to scold her.

I have two particularly tricky tasks at hand this week, so I need to take two days off. I’ll sort out the outline by the way. Please forgive me, little cuties, I love you~! !
